Help me I am drowning in a sea of emotion
Swallowed by loves vast empty ocean.

Help me as I’m being thrashed by the violence of the sea
She cares not for a man such as me.

A man like me who loved you from
Body to soul from head to feet
A man like me who loved you truthfully and deep.

You came to my room last night and handled me really sweet
You held me close and kissed me passionately and deep.

I held you all through the night we cuddled deep and warm
your head upon my chest listening to my hearts beating little storm

I just wish you could look at me like you looked at him
deep and with love, instead of void and dim.

I wish I had the answer I wish I could win your heart.
What do you do when your whole world falls apart?

The Christmas lights sure look nice
all over town,
Put up by families
with friends gathered around.
Everyone’s excited
and full of good cheer,
So why am I still sitting
alone over here?
Something is missing,
something just isn’t right.
You should be with me
enjoying this night.
The presents are nice
but I’d rather have you
To hold and to love
for the whole season through.
It doesn’t seem merry
without you by my side,
Despite what they say
about a cozy sleigh ride.
I’ll sit here and daydream
as I look at the tree,
Of the day you will finally
spend Christmas with me.

My stomach quails, rushing
and somehow
I stagger as I sit,
trying to breathe through words
too thick in the air;
a hundred thousand
hornets
flying from their endless nest
behind your ice-black eyes
through holes
love once filled.

I wonder, briefly,
if they were always there.

I try to walk away,
but trip over the broken vows
piled on the bedroom floor
in saturated heaps,
and the net
you’ve spread
for the child.

Haunting memories ensnare my mind, softening my gaze while thinning my defenses.

Red and yellow spots of nothingness have burned your face into the back of my eyelids. Deep hues of chocolate reflect an imagine of a reaching hand.

I reach out and grasp, pulling up with all of my strength. To my ignorance I dismiss the stresses of everyday life that siphon my soul and my being.

I missed a lot of chances to prove myself of something extraordinary. Blinded by my pride and “logical” explanations.

My diamond exterior began to wore over the element of time. Lifeless and dull we break.. I broke this heart that I ment to hold dearest to me.

My rooted stance kept me from falling. The rage that harbors in my fists lusts for flesh and bone.

The guardian I wanted to be fell quite some time ago, this greedy king is what I had become. Soaring joys was my heart, thinking this was just another speed bump.

Every year flashes by you
Time waits for no man
Regrets, you live with plenty
And the loneliness you cannot stand
Through the ashes you see her face
The girl you left behind
You’ll never find a love like hers
Or a heart that was as kind

Did you lack human courage
When you had her in your grasp?
Back then, when you were young and scared
Did you believe that it could last?
With her picture, you feel her soul
But many years have come and gone
You’re reminded of what could’ve been
When you play her favourite song

She was the one that got away
You think about her everyday
The love she showed
That you let go
Means your pain will only stay
She was the one that got away
